TEAMS is The East Anglian Mills Society. The group was formed during 2008 following a series of meetings between like-minded mill owners and enthusiasts in East Anglia. The aims of TEAMS are simply to share information, expertise and experience in maintaining, preserving and restoring our traditional windmills and watermills and to help each other with the issues of owning these lovely buildings.
